Alan Carr issues update after collapsing on stage

Alan Carr issued an update after fans watched him collapse during one of his live shows.

During a show in Glasgow, the RuPaul's Drag Race judge collapsed in the middle of his set. He was seen rolling around the stage floor with shooting pains up his leg as the audience watched on thinking it was a part of the show.

After he posted a photo of a bag of peas on his leg to cool down the pain, the 46-year-old issued a full statement about what happened at the show. In a video posted to Instagram, he said: "There's a bit in my routine where I pretend to be Jason Statham and I high kicked then I got the worst cramp ever. It was shooting pains and I was rolling around on the floor and people thought it was part of the act.

"My lovely tour manager poked this crutch through the curtains. I had to finish the show. I think I've torn it, but hopefully, I'm going to have to rest. I put a very dramatic picture of me with some peas, but I'm fine. I just felt eggy and felt silly rolling around on the floor."

He added: "But I'm fine, I'm fine but I've never felt pain like it! I will solider on like I always do."

Celebrity pals flooded the comment sections with their sympathies and best wishes, including Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison who said: "I love you man!" Radio host and presenter Vanessa Feltz shared her concerns as she added: "Worried about you. Should you be checked out by a GP or at A&E just to be sure?"

Actress and television personality Martine McCutcheon said: "Oh bless you. What a trooper" Rest up and take care of yourself tho please!" Fellow comedian John Bishop added: "What a trooper - you are an example to us all"
